[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 116384, member: 30"] Re: 3 phase amps True. It was said several decades ago by one of the "giants" of audio "What we really need is a 100 watt continuous amp that can deliver 20dB peaks". While this was meant as a joke-it is really true. If loudspeakers were rated in sine waves-the ratings would be MUCH lower. But of course some manufacturers would simply choose a freq at which to test that was at the impedance peak-so it would not be "real watts" but watts as calculated based on the rated impedance vs voltage. So once again it comes down to what the measurement really means and there are ways to "fudge" it to make it appear as something it is not. [/QUOTE]
